Made in America Panel Proposes it’s time for America to convert employees from selling products to making products

Neal Asbury opened his nationally syndicated “Neal Asbury’s Made in America” show on Radio America by warning that with today’s economy and taxes, 25 percent of low wage retail jobs are going away, predicting that high unemployment and under-employment are the “new normal.”

What Could Business Owners and Obama Possibly Talk About

Last week President Barack Obama invited business leaders to a meeting in the White House to try and allay fears that the economy would move back into a recession if the more than $600 billion in tax increases take effect Jan. 1.

Skewed Visions of the American Dream

Skewed Visions of the American Dream

As I watched the speeches at the Democratic and Republican conventions, the idea of the American Dream was inserted into many of the presentations. Yet, the visions of the American Dream were inherently different.

Democratic speakers all discussed how government entitlements formed the foundation of their American Dream. Numerous grants and subsidies all played a key role in the pursuit of their future vocation.

Contrast this to the Republican vision. Speaker after speaker talked about how their ancestors came to the United ...
